TV buffs don’t seem to be happy with the fact that the title of a former hit show that starred Barun Sobti and Sanaya Irani is being used again

Barun Sobti and Sanaya Irani’s crackling chemistry made Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon immensely popular. But after Barun quit the show, the channel had to end it as the fans only wanted to see Barun in the lead.
A still from Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon Now, news is that the show will be back on the tube with a brand new season, cast and story. This second edition, called Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon — Ek Baar Phir plans on recreating the magic of the orginial show and bring to fans, a riveting love story.

However, this move hasn’t gone down too well with the fans of the original show. They have taken to social networking websites, protesting against the title being “cashed in on” (read tweet box).
A source says, “The working title of the show was Astha earlier, and the story was that of a romantic comedy like IPKKND. Perhaps with requests from a few fans and reports of the IPKKND season 2 being in the pipeline, prompted the channel to change the name.” The new show will star Shrenu Parikh and Avinash Sachdev.
In a statement made by the channel, Barun said, “IPKKND was one show that was loved by one and all, I was lucky to be a part of it. I have always believed that its story was its strength. It'll be interesting to see the second season. I hope it does well. I wish all the luck to the channel and the production house.”
